First, let me say it’s not really fair to compare Google Analytics with Omniture as stand‐alone products. This is like
comparing a Honda Civic to a Ferrari!
Omniture is built for extreme performance. It has several weekly advanced segmentation and tracking features, plus bells
and whistles that do pretty much anything a professional investor user could ask for. That being said, if all you need to do is
use basic history analytics with a little advanced segmentation in order to see how your business is doing, Chicago Google Analytics
does the trick pretty well.
Now that we have the ground rules in place, here are some points of comparison between the two web analytics.

programs. (Five Rivers illinois) First of all, everyone reading this should definitely use some form of analytics on their website. Choosing between
Omniture Site Catalyst and Google Analytics depends on the costs, needs and performance factors that I talked
about.
The important thing is to use analytics. As long as we all continue to use these tools and keep up the demand for
high‐quality, low‐cost products, things should get better for everyone. Albion Sports required a webiste which they could manage themselves. We created them a content management system so users with certain privileges could manage their own little sections.
It had to work in a way in which new seasons could be added per junior / seniors / reserves team.
Everything from the old website had to be migrated accross making sure no information or images had been lost.
The end result was amazing and we got some really good feed back from both the club and the supporters.
